[From the New Zealander.~] The Loss op the " Osprey." — On Monday, a court-martial, comprising Rear Admiral Hyde Parker, C.8., President; Captain Pasco, of the Victory; Captain Chads, of the Excellent; Captain Lushington, of the Vengeance; Captain Henderson, of the Sidon; Captain Milne, of the St. Vincent; Captain Giffard, of the Penelope; and Mr. 6. L. Greetham, Deputy Judge Advocate of the Fleet, assembled on board the St. Vincent, to try, on the information of Rear-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, Con- mander F. Patten, of her Majesty's late sloop Osprey, and the officers and ship's company, for the loss of that vessel on the western coast of New Zealand, in March last It is quite unnecessary to give the evidence adduced ; the whole case rested upon this fact — the waters where the ship was wrecked had never been surveyed, and False Hokianga so closely resembled True Hokianga, that mistaking one lor the other was most natural under the circumstances detailed before the Court. Commander Patten read his defence. The Court fully acquitted Commander Patten, as well as the officers and ship's company; and were of opinion that every exertion had been made in the endeavour to save the said ship. The President then returned Commander Patten his sword. — London Paper.
